man, and was born in Grafton June 10, 1928.
He received an academic education and at the
age of twenty, entered The law office of Walker
& Kellogg at S.xtons River and later with Mr.
Walker Of Bellows Falls, where no finished bis
studies and was admitted to the bar in 1881,
since which time he has been In continual prac
tice here in the office in which he was stricken

A law exists in our state forbidding the adul
teration OF maple sugar, and we have reason to
believe that very little adulterated sugar goes
out Of the state. But the price of maple sugar
is low and the farmers say that in some cases
1t does not pay the cost OF production. But any
one can see what a chance irresponsible dealers
in other sections have through the very care
used here to- furnish pure article. They are
sure Of getting genuine thing here and taking
in to the cities can very readily "extend" it by
cane sugar and glucose and make enormous
profits. 1t Is stated that there Is more "Ver-
mont maple sugar" sold in Chicago every year
than the whole product of the state. There Is
good deal in q name. While We would not
have the adulleration law repealed we would
suggest that producers sell only to responsible
retail dealers in the cities and pack their sugar
in sealed packages Of convenient size, so that
the Consumer may be sure that he is buying
genuine article; and when the real taste has
become known, consumers will not be deceived
into purchasing cane sugar colored and flavor
cd with a decocton of hickory bark, thinking
it is genuine maple sugar. When this is done,
this toothsome luxury will bring the price it
ought and will amply pay the cost OF produc-
ton. Make the best sugar possible, then soil it
where it will be fairly treated. Tho oleomar-
gariuc 10 wsieieat well be enlarged to protect
maple sEgar4alsO.
